Only if you want it removed. :)

"rm -rf" works fine.

Well, that can be done, but it's tricky. It'e easier to
"mkzopeinstance /directoryTwo" reinstalling the products and copying
over the data.fs, IMO.

No, but some configuration files does, and if you have local products
you may want to delete all *.pyc files.

No, you can just delete the instance directory. It's the copying that
is the problem. The Data.fs can generally be copied without problems
though.
